World Economic Forum – Resilient Firms and Economies: How Companies, Governments and Multilateral Development Banks Can Help Unlock Growth in Emerging

This report focuses on building resilience in firms and economies, particularly in emerging markets, through collaboration among companies, governments, and multilateral development banks.

It highlights the critical importance of resilience amid economic shifts, conflicts, protectionism, and climate disasters. Despite some progress, only 25% of companies feel prepared across resilience dimensions, an improvement from 20% in 2024. The report explores resilience capabilities, regional variations, challenges in public-private collaboration, and ways MDBs and governments can empower companies by improving infrastructure, digitalization, financing access, and enabling policy.
